'I need to report an assault.' Listen to 911 call made the night Johnny Depp and Amber Heard had blowout fight that ended their toxic 18-month marriage - but both claim tape backs up their version of events.

'Hi, I need to report an assault right now happening at 849 Broadway at the Eastern building,' the caller says, referring to the couple's home in LA. The recording was buried in legal files for nearly four years and it raises tantalizing new questions about the former couple's infamous clash around the time. Timestamped 8:27pm on May 21, 2016, the call appears to have been made when Heard claims Depp hurled a cell phone at her face and tore out her hair.

Refusing to give a name, the caller explains that a friend named Amber is being attacked by a man described merely as a 'boyfriend', saying: 'I happen to know that it's happening and I just need to remain anonymous. Physically assaulting her, yeah,' replies the caller, becoming agitated. 'Send somebody up there please,' the caller adds, reiterating the location of the couple's lavish penthouse before the recording abruptly ends. 

Heard's attorney says phone records and police department logs vindicate Heard’s account of the final shocking episode of domestic violence she endured before filing for divorce.

Depp’s legal team say this recording does the precise opposite, however, by raising discrepancies in the various accounts Heard and her allies have given of the notorious dust up.  

His attorney is also questioning the identity of the caller, pointing out the female voice on the clip does not belong to iO Tillett Wright. They suggest the 8:27pm 911 call was instead placed by Heard's buddy Raquel Pennington.

iO Tillett Wright's famous call was not registered on the 911 system until 10:09pm, around an hour and a half after the alleged attack. Johnny's team insists that the timing discrepancies support his version of events that night.
